Have tried it and its gestures are impressively configurable but key-based - having to configure every single key for every single language to delete a word on left swipe &c. is a little too much. All these things would be visible on every key with no way to hide them, which feels like wires sticking out. There're no actions for scrolling through correction options. As far as I can tell, neural prediction is specifically for swipe typing and I don't use swipe typing. And it supports just a handful of languages too. But thank you!

Discounting temporary tech issues, I haven't browsed internet without an adblocker for a single day in my entire life. Nobody is entitled to abuse my attention; no guilt, no exceptions.

it cuts out the middle man of having to find facts on your own

Nope.

Even without corporate tuning or filtering.

A language model is useful when you know what to expect from it, but it's just another kind of secondary information source, not an oracle. In some sense it draws random narratives from the noosphere.

And if you give it search results as part of input in hope of increasing its reliability, how will you know they haven't been manipulated by SEO? Search engines are slowly failing these days. A language model won't recognise new kinds of bullshit as readily as you.

Education is still important.

CVEs are constantly found in complex software, that's why security updates are important. If not these, it'd have been other ones a couple of weeks or months later. And government users can't exactly opt out of security updates, even if they come with feature regressions.

You also shouldn't keep using software with known vulnerabilities. You can find a maintained fork of Chromium with continued Manifest V2 support or choose another browser like Firefox.

The temperature here was very interesting for a second or two until I remembered some people use °F.

Alternatively, ffmpeg -protocol_whitelist file,crypto,data,https,tls,tcp -stats -i <URL.m3u8> -codec copy <FILE.mp4>.

Also, some m3u8's are just files containing redirects to other m3u8's in various resolutions. You might want to extract the one you need and download that.

No IPA notation? ⸨I'm somewhat disappointed⸩

Passwords are safe, it's temporary session tokens (already invalidated) that were exposed.

But 22301 isn't prime? It's 29*769.

I just saw a Youtube ad

I'd say you're doing something wrong then already. There's no reason to tolerate any deliberate assault on your mental integrity, e.g. ads. At least when there're solutions as simple as configuring adblockers / using alternative apps. It's harder with ads in your city.

Haven't heard of all-in-one solutions, but once you have a recording, whisper.cpp can do the transcription:

• https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

The underlying Whisper models are MIT.

Then you can use any LLM inference engine, e.g. llama.cpp, and ask the model of your choice to summarise the transcript:

• https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

You can also write a small bash/python script to make the process a bit more automatic.

If config prompt = system prompt, its hijacking works more often than not. The creators of a prompt injection game (https://tensortrust.ai/) have discovered that system/user roles don't matter too much in determining the final behaviour: see appendix H in https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.01011.

Once a competent authoritarian leader takes root, it becomes very hard to remove him: the necessary mechanisms, formal or informal, tend to be sabotaged - not at once, but more and more over the years. It also helps when some of opposition have their lives broken, when uncertainty about one's own life is high, the value of human life low, when loyalty is placed above both competence and the law, and the law above competence, when the reputation of any possible contenders is questionable or made questionable, when people are used to the thought of futility of resistance (with fresh examples produced all the time) and being alone before the oppression, when somewhat educated people are made to think their views are in minority (independently of whether it's the case) and some of less educated people have some of their misery alleviated (and are occasionally given some power they did not deserve) in return for voicing the pro-government position (even if a good measure of said misery is a consequence of the government's actions).

Their Literature sublemmy was enjoyable. The alternatives are just too small to have discussions at the moment. Let's see if a proper replacement arises.

...and I joined this instance because it federated with more or less everyone. It didn't last long.

I don't focus on recommendations specifically. My typical process is:

• spend anywhere from a few days to a few weeks figuring out which technical characteristics are important for this kind of product, which aren't, why and when &c. This kind of information is usually available (and even obvious SEO garbage can give you new keywords to consider when searching);
• based on these alone, determine what's acceptable and what's desirable for you;
• if you haven't already, find some kind of community around the topic and see which brands/manufacturers people commonly complain about and why; also see if there're popular manufacturers only selling things via their own websites;
• open your preferred store (or several) and filter the entire category based on what you've learned. Pick a few candidates and examine them closely;
• go back to the community again and look up anything mentioning these candidates - including comparisons with other ones you haven't considered. Perhaps consider them;
• make the final choice.

Skip some of these if irrelevant or if you don't care enough. Spend extra time if you care a lot.

It works well enough for every new phone (the market there is changing fast, so you start anew every time), it worked for my first PC I've decided to assemble with 0 prior knowledge, the mechanical keyboard and the vertical mouse, and pretty much every piece of tech I'm buying.

And I'd say it's reasonable to use Reddit without an account even if you disagree with what the platform owners are doing. The data is still valuable for such use cases.

Some updates might be restricted to certain architectures, Android versions &c. Some could be beta versions. Or your repositories simply need to be synchronised.

If it isn't the latter, check the following settings: "Include incompatible versions", "Include anti-feature apps" and "Unstable updates".

TOTP can be backed up and used on several devices at least.

This is not to say that Jung wasn't a genius. Jung was THE BOMB DIGGIDITY (which, by the way, I wish was an official term in the Oxford dictionary).

If they love Jung so much (which I agree they should because Jung was amaaaaazing), why don't they honor him by using the spelling he actually used?

Love etymological articles with unreliable narrators.
